[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Believe me, if the child were having an asthmatic attack, emergency would have been called. There is more to this story.[/quote] So not true. My child was hospitalized for a respiratory condition at children's. He had 2 roommates during that time who had had trouble with asthma at school, which wasn't recognized and wasn't addressed until it was at the point where the child needed an extended hospitalization. I've seen it at schools where I've worked as well where symptoms of asthma and allergic reactions go unrecognized. Teachers need training in recognizing signs of asthma (hint, a child can be in severe distress with no audible wheezing). Kids need to be empowered to recognize their symptoms, and carry emergency medication. [/quote]
